Blended Learning

What is the importance of blended learning in the K-12? In order to determine this, I think a definition of blended learning would be helpful. What is blended learning? There is no one definition. According to Caroline Gray, www.learningcircuits.org , "Blended learning is a powerful training solution that combines e-learning with a variety of other delivery methods for a superior learning experience."

Blended learning will become more and more important and prevalent in the K-12 classroom as schools' become more technologically advanced and teachers become more technologically savvy. Students different learning styles play a huge part in how blended learning is used in schools. Giving students different avenues and opportunities to learn is what teaching is about. Using varying technologies gives all students a chance to match their learning style with the topic being learned.
